Sunday 10 May marks the start of the county season for both the Kent U17 Boys and the Kent Women as they take to the field for their opening fixtures of the campaign.

Following a number of training sessions, both squads now face their first real test in match conditions. With newly selected groups coming together for the first time competitively, the opening fixtures will provide an early opportunity to build combinations, confidence and momentum for the season ahead. While there is always an element of the unknown in a first fixture, both squads are looking forward to the challenge and hopeful of making a positive start.

The Kent U17 Boys host Eastern Counties with kick-off at 11:00am at Charlton Park RFC.

Later in the day, the Kent Women travel to face Hampshire with a 3:00pm kick-off at Havant RFC.

We wish both squads and their management teams every success as they begin their county campaigns and encourage supporters to get behind the teams this Sunday.
